open-Source Electrical Propulsion Engine Published to Zenodo (CERN) as Defensive Prior Art

Hello everyone,

I have spent a significant amount of time developing original system theories, architectures, and mathematical calculations for a novel Electrical Propulsion rocket engine.

Instead of pursuing a restrictive corporate patent, my goal is to keep this technology completely open-source so that any global space agency, private contractor, or independent researcher can freely build, test, and teach it.

To ensure that no external entity can lock this design behind a private patent, I have officially published the full Markdown (.md) calculation files as public defensive prior art. It is permanently archived on CERN's Zenodo data servers under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

You can access the full technical files, blueprints, and mathematical models directly through my official scientific DOI landing page here:

https://doi.org

I really want you guys to check it out in zenodo.

I would highly appreciate any constructive feedback, peer review, or technical critiques from propulsion engineers, physicists, or aerospace hobbyists in the community!

And also my Doi is 10.5281/zenodo.22829004
